About Manie

Manie Walker BA, CHRL, CEC, ACC

I’m Manie Walker, a certified business and executive coach who genuinely enjoys partnering with leaders and organizations to help individuals, teams, and whole companies move through transitions and realize their potential. My passion is bringing energy and clarity to people work, supporting meaningful transitions in realistic and hands-on ways.

With more than three decades of business experience, I bring a practical, grounded approach to my work with clients. My practice is built on five core values: honesty, integrity, fairness, courage, and perseverance. These values guide how I show up for my clients and how I help organizations navigate people matters with clarity and confidence.

My experience spans a wide range of sectors, including financial services, IT, professional services, not-for-profit, retail, insurance, health care, steel, mining, consumer packaged goods, and automotive. That breadth has given me a strong understanding of the unique challenges organizations face and the importance of finding solutions that are thoughtful – and workable.

I live in Dundas, Ontario, and when I’m not working, I love cheering on the Toronto Maple Leafs and enjoying a good glass of Sauvignon Blanc with family. I’m also an enthusiastic beginner golfer who keeps learning one swing at a time.
